What troubles me about fundamentalists is that they ignore the place of other groups in our heritage, and try to make their version of Christianity quintessential to American indentity. Aspects of our heritage that contradict their vision, such as separation of church and state, are conveniently ignored.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-47040090114230541452011-07-06T00:02:31.787-04:002011-07-06T00:02:31.787-04:00I think it's true that the United States has a...I think it's true that the United States has a strong Christian heritage. When I go there, I never fail to find the strong devotees. <br /><br />I disagree in that such heritage is a good thing. It is an unfortunate truth, in my opinion.
